I couldn’t sleep, so I drove up to the mountains to catch the sunrise. The wind was so cold.

The National Park Service preserves places and stories from difficult times in the nation’s history. Shenandoah National Park shares a piece of that story in Lewis Mountain -- an area that was initially "separate, but equal."
Lewis Mountain functioned as the site of annual Sunday school picnics, homecoming events, small gatherings, and other social activities. In several editions of the Green Book between 1947 and 1967, Shenandoah’s Lewis Mountain was listed as a safe space for Black visitors looking for a similar experience in the Park as everyone else. Eventually, social change with regard to civil rights for African Americans won out, and Shenandoah was, by National Park Service policy, fully integrated in 1950. Although important and essential laws and policies have been passed as a result of those who spoke up for change, true social change must come from the human heart.- Shenandoah National Park via Facebook
